So anyone who knows me, can tell you that I am one of the most indecisive people on the planet. I can't make my mind up about anything, be it an important decision or where I want to go for dinner. So I am very excited to say that I have decided what I want to do for my senior show.

I'm about to finish up my junior year here at college and I had been trying to decide what work I'm going to want to share for my senior show. The senior show is pretty much sums up your experience in the art program. A HUGE amount to planning, time, and money go into the the show. Students are responsible for planning everything for the event. This mean postcards, posters, business cards, entertainment, food and drinks that will be served, organizing the space, hanging the work, pricing the work, promoting the event, etc. The show is sort of the students debut into the art world.

I had two possible ideas for the work I wanted to show. I plan on graduating with a concentration in graphic design, and that's what I want to do for a career. I've been working on a series of fun package designs, that seem to be pretty effective. For a while I was thinking that if possible employers were going to be at the show, it wouldn't be a bad idea to showcase my design work. However, while I feel like I'm pretty good at design, it's not what I'm most passionate about. I enjoy it a great deal, but I'm not about to climb the nearest mountain and shout it to the heavens. My other possible option is the digitally edited photos that I've been taking of the woods (I've posted a few of them here). I love everything about that process. I love going up into the woods with a camera and snapping away. The forest is such a fun place to be, I could (and have) spend hours and hours walking through the woods, capturing what it is that I love about being there. I love opening up my photos on the computer, and seeing how everything turned out. I love seeing a photo jump out, that I know would look awesome if I tinkered a bit with it. I love working on the photos, and making them tell a story, and seeing the process they go through to get there. I love watching my prints come out of the printer. I love to share my efforts with people and getting feedback. I love having people tell me that my photos remind me of their own experiences in the woods.

Since the later choice makes me so much more happy, I've decided it would be the better choice for the show. I know it seems like the clear choice, but you have no idea how long it took me to reach this conclusion....but that's just how I am. I'm just glad I was able to make up my mind.

Anyhoo, hope all is well with everyone else. And I'll try to post some new work soonish.
